Stanley: The Family Trees of Paul & Peter, Richard & Owen Stanley

Description

From about 1710 to about 1910 from primarily Dorset, Devon and Somerset. Compiled by Anne-Marie Ford. A4, 24 pages.

Before Anne-Marie Ford began her pioneering study of the Romany Gypsy Stanleys, almost all that had been written about the family concentrated on their lives in the USA, following a 19th century exodus from Britain. In this book the author has corrected the imbalance by – quite literally – taking the Stanleys back to their origins in Southern England.

This volume focuses on the lives of the Stanleys in the counties of Dorset, Devon and Somerset. Also published by the RTFHS and available from GENfair is a companion volume - The Family Trees of Hercules and Peter Stanley which is now available in a new updated and expanded edition (March 2019) and covers the family in their original territories of Berkshire and Hampshire.
